House of Lords (Members’ Taxation Status) Bill [HL]

I recall intervening many years ago on Lord Shore, who was a rather long-winded Member of this House whom many of us will remember. As he entered the 25th minute of a speech in Committee, I pointed out that the Companion says that long speeches tend to weary the House. He sat down within 30 seconds. I thought that that was a very good reaction to a gentle comment.
